How it All Began:

In 2002 Eleonore experienced the quickening of her spiritual evolution and was guided to make changes in her life. Following her inner guidance she completed her work of 5 years in the substance abuse and violence prevention field with youth as educator and counselor, simplified her life, and began her sabbatical.

She started Sacred Ventures, leading sacred wilderness journeys in the Santa Monica and Orange County Mountains and Beaches. The focus of these journeys is to bring people to the healing and teaching elements of nature, to restore and renew the spirit, and to facilitate a reconnection with the sacred and the vital life force intrinsic to nature and reflective of what is within us.

In 2003 she was guided to pilgrimage to Crete, Greece, the birth place of a highly evolved civilization known as the Minoan Civilization. Eleonore, a survivor of the 1967 and 1975 wars in Lebanon, felt spiritually called to travel during the outbreak of yet another war on the Gulf Coast. She felt that this pilgrimage would in some way, uncover within her psyche, and the psyche of the collective, the memory of a time and place where people and the environment co-habitated in peace, harmony, trade, arts, and prosperity.

She returned to the U.S. with a renewed vision of what was and what is possible. She was drawn to institutions and events that spoke of this vision of a renewed world. She worked collaboratively with varying teachers and healers ranging from work with the orphaned children of South Africa to environmental arts projects to restore balance in the psyche of our world.

She was then led to return to Los Angeles in service both to her Family and her community. It was in service to her Aunt Fay, who was in her last year of battling cancer, that she began to feel the tug towards the healing arts. Fay nudged her towards energy medicine and encouraged Eleonore to expand her natural gift to heal. Soon after her Aunt's transition, Eleonore attended a Spirit Quest through the ARAS Foundation on Molokai, Hawaii. As in ancient indigenous traditions, the week-long retreat prepared her for a 36 hour quest in the wilderness. Similarly to her journey to Crete, Eleonore was profoundly impacted by her experience in subtle ways. Upon her return to LA, she was attuned to Reiki in June of 2004, leading her to Master Teacher Level in 2005. Through the encouragement and support of her family, she expanded her healing work, and pursued education at the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing in 2005, combining bodywork, energy work, breath work and meditation to support individuals on their healing and awakening path.

Her work as a facilitator, teacher, and speaker continues to evolve. Committed to her personal healing and spiritual work she continues her education in Reiki studying with teachers such as Frans Steine, Inamoto Sensei, ﻿Frank Arjava Petter, Amanda Jayne, William Lee Rand, Colleen Benelli, Jessica Miller and Laurelle Shanti Gaia. She also networks with local Reiki Masters and researches new materials incorporating new healing techniques and refining her Reiki practice. Eleonore also studies and practices meditation and yoga with local teachers from varied disciplines (kundalini, hatha, iyunger, vipassana, buddhist) She was certified as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher as taught by Yogi Bahjan in 2013 and a Restorative Yoga Teacher by Jillian Pransky, YogaWorks in 2015.

Her passion is to support individuals on their healing and awakening path with a vision of a thriving, united world in harmony and peace, aligned and balanced with the Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine.
